Needless to say, the break doesn’t go as planned. When a fellow guest in their hotel is found murdered, Agatha herself becomes a suspect - and it looks as if she will be solving this particular case from the confines of a prison cell....

Very enjoyable

I have listened to several books in the Agatha Raisin series. They are well written, perfectly narrated & a fun listen! I’m enjoying every adventure & the interesting characters.

Fun, Light and Engaging

The Agatha Raisin books are fun, light and engaging, just what I want for distraction from news of the day. The plots are full of twists and turns that may be a little transparent at times, but are mostly entertaining surprises. Characters are appealing enough to keep me wanting another chapter, or another book. Agatha is ... a pistol.

Great story

James invites Agatha on vacation then abandons her. Agatha being Agatha pulls herself together solves the crime and realizes that James isn't the fantasy that has been in her dreams. This is a great book.

Excellent adventure with Agatha

Agatha is up to her usual sleuthing mishaps. Her surprise romantic trip with James turns sour after Agatha is accused of murdering another guest at the hotel. She and her team uncover secrets as they try to solve who committed the murder.

Penelope Keith should be the ONLY narrator for this series.

This series is great because of the narrator! Her inflection and changing of the voices are like velvet on the ears. I can’t stand to listen to the other. I may just purchase those in actual book form.
